📰 Team News: Juventus

Moise Kean (Knee problems) and Mattia De Sciglio (unknown injury) will be missing for Juventus gaffer Massimiliano Allegri.

In all likelihood, Juve could use a 3-5-2 system in the match, handing starts to Wojciech Szczesny, Federico Gatti, Bremer, Danilo, Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa.

ℹ️ Team News: AC Milan

Owing to an otherwise full-strength squad, there is just the sole fitness issue for the AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli to be concerned with. Pierre Kalulu (Collateral ligament injury) won’t be in action. The suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernández and Davide Calabria.

We reckon that i Rossoneri appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Mike Maignan, Yunus Musah, Matteo Gabbia, Malick Thiaw, Alessandro Florenzi, Tijjani Reijnders, Ismaël Bennacer, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rafael Leão and Olivier Giroud.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that AC Milan will likely be able to find the back of the net against this Juventus lineup, although it might not quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We reckon that it will be a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Juventus at the end of this one. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
